Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's 6 am and I'm wide awake
Cuz I can't stop thinking 'bout the stuff you were sayin' to
Me and I, I can't let it slide
The papers' not here yet
The suns' not up
But I'm not afraid to tell you what I feel inside
I had one of those dreams that make it all so
Clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me how long you tried to make me think
It was me who was bein' the fake
So clear

Why did I smile when I was hurt inside
Said I was okay when I knew it's a lie
I wanted to believe in you
You took your chances
And whoa was me
So I'll just forgive you
And set you free
I'm on my way
Yeah I'm steppin' out of the haze
And it's so

Clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me how long you tried to make me think
It was me who was bein' the fake
So clear

I wanna put the past behind
Try and maybe I can find better days
The first time in a while
Think that I ever feel a smile on my face

(Oh-whoa oh)
I got a whole new perspective, yeah I do
(It's so clear)
You can't treat me that way

It's so Clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It's so

Clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me how long you tried to make me think
It was me who was bein' the fake
So clear (yeah)
So clear so clear
So clear
(Oooh oohh)

Suns' going down on a Saturday




And I feel alright
I feel okay.

Overall Meaning

In "Clear," Miley Cyrus reflects on a past relationship and how the person treated her poorly. She sings about how, despite trying to convince herself otherwise, she knew the other person was in the wrong, leading her ultimately to forgive them and move on. The lyrics, "It's so clear to me now / You can't treat me that way," and "It appears to me how long you tried to make me think / It was me who was bein' the fake," highlight the realization that she was being manipulated and gaslit into believing that she was the cause of the problems in the relationship. As she gains a new perspective, a feeling of empowerment and freedom takes over, with "So I'll just forgive you / And set you free / I'm on my way."

Lyrics::

Words fall out of my mouth
They drift to the ground
And they don't make a sound
I'll try to assemble them back
To the place in my head
But I fear that I lack
The proper speak that I need
To narrate the scene
To tell you these things
The proper place for my thoughts
I know I'm not and you not that I'm not
So clear and transparent
Well, I'll try but I can't promise it
So dark but delicate
Well I'm rough around the edges and
Down but I'm not, no I'm not ready
And you can try to smooth me down
But I'm not ready to forget
You can try to smooth me down
Smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down
Take back all that I've said
I've said it before and I'll say it again
It's not like me to pretend
That the best part of me is the worst I can give
But you make me so terrified
I tried to reply but I'm shaking inside
You gave me a tongue just to tie
I'll swallow my pride if you swear not to lie
Hard to read and hard to speak to
But don't take my word
'Cause I'm honestly so bored of being
Misunderstood
I'm not
So clear and transparent
Well I'll try but I can't promise it
So dark but delicate
Well I'm rough around the edges and
Down but I'm not, no I'm not
And you can try to smooth me down
But I'm not ready to forget
You can try to smooth me down
Down but I'm not, no I'm not
You can try to smooth me down
But I'm not ready to forget
You can try to smooth me down
Smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down
Smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down

Lyrics & Timing :

00:00 - 0:28
Words fall out of my mouth, they drift to the ground and they don't make a sound
I'll try to assemble them back to the place in my head, but I fear that I lack
The proper speak that I need, to narrate the scene, to tell you these things
The proper place for my thoughts, I know that I'm not and you know that I'm not

0:28 - 1:09

So clear and transparent
Well I'll try but I can't promise it
So dark but delicate
Well I'm rough around the edges and
You can try to smooth me down
But Iโ€™m not, no, Iโ€™m not it
And you can try to smooth me down
But Iโ€™m not ready to forget
You can try to smooth me down
But Iโ€™m not, no, Iโ€™m not it
And you can try to smooth me down
But Iโ€™m not ready to forget
You can try to smooth me down
You can try to smooth me down
But Iโ€™m not ready to forget

1:09 - 1:29

Take back all that I've said, Iโ€™ve said it before and Iโ€™ll say it again
Itโ€™s not like me to pretend, but the best part of me is the worst I can give
But you make me so terrified, I tried to reply but Iโ€™m shaking inside
You gave me a tongue just to tie, Iโ€™ll swallow my pride if you swear not to lie

1:29 - 1:39

Hard to read and hard to speak to
But donโ€™t take my word
Cause Iโ€™m honestly so bored of being
Misunderstood, Iโ€™m not

1:39-2:55

So clear and transparent
Well I'll try but I can't promise it
So dark but delicate
Well I'm rough around the edges and
You can try to smooth me down
But Iโ€™m not, no, Iโ€™m not it
And you can try to smooth me down
But Iโ€™m not ready to forget
